The paint on the portrait came out pretty bland compared to the prototype, still looks good though..

I sort of agree with your comment.
The main thing is, it has the same good vibe as the prototype, unlike the recent Wonder Woman PF
No googly eye's either!
Along with Rogue and Poison Ivy, i think Elektra turned out great.

Compeltely agree! this is way better than catfishing Wonder Woman.

It's actually one of the nicest SS statues coming out this year!

My Elektra is leaning. I just uploaded a video to YouTube.

That video was rough to watch. Sorry your statue is leaning so badly after just 4 months. Thank you for sharing though and raising awareness.

Also disheartened by Sideshow's customer service response. At minimum they should've offered a credit.

Watched the video. I’ve seen quite a few of your reviews, I enjoy them. This sucks about your “leaning tower of Elektra” and it’s a position I’ve been in plenty with sideshow.

You’re right though, they’re a business. They don’t give a $#!+ other than their ability to make money. I’m sure the artists there love their craft but they aren’t the people who deal with sales and money, for those people it’s a job, and they know in cases like these they already made their money from the problem statue and despite any disappointment we’re going to keep buying things based off the way they’re originally presented to us anyway. Like you said, you have 7 more statues coming from them. They got your Elektra money. They will get more of your money. What incentive do they have to go the extra mile? None. To make you a happy customer? Sounds nice and of course they want happy customers, in general that leads to continued sales, but ultimately money is more valuable to them. If I have your money and know I’m getting more anyway what reason would I have to change my behavior? The only way sideshow would change these types of policies and responses is if they started losing significant money. That’s business.

I like that you made a video about the problem though. More people need to do that. I should make a video about my leaning Rogue that I didn’t cause, the entire journey I’ve had with it since it arrived broken up until now.

I was actually looking at your original review video of this statue earlier today, as I was contemplating picking up the Collectors Edition while it’s still in stock. Now, maybe not.

Hope you’re able to get some satisfaction from Sideshow.

That is terrible. After 4 months only......and all you get is a "you are past the 30 day return/exchange window."

This exact reason is why I don't trust Sideshow with their fancy engineering when they can't even balance a statue with two feet on the ground.

Hope you can escalate this and speak to someone higher up and get it resolved.

I noticed that leaning with a lot of Elektras I saw in the WWW. Though yours iis leaning much more than the others I saw yet.
I always thought that was just how the pose was intended to look like.

I would escalate this. SS took back my leaning Sinestro over 6 months later.
